Lots and lots of shows, TV series, etc. get talked about, planned, etc., and are either never started, or started but never finished. What un-made works do you wish had been made?
Here are some of mine:
* Pixar pulled Newt because they thought it would be too similar to Rio. I still would've liked to see what they'd do with it, and keep in mind I really liked Rio.
* 20th Century Fox wanted to adapt the children's novel The Wainscott Weasel. This book was a childhood favorite of a friend, and she recommended it to me. I highly recommend the book if you haven't read it — it has a ton of charm, great characterization, and really holds up well from an adult perspective. I think that, in the right hands, a movie adaptation could've done it justice.
* A friend of mine did a furry black-and-white space comic called Tales from the Aniverse in the 1980s. He said that he was approached by DreamWorks to provide a treatment for a movie adaptation, but they thought the treatment was too confusing, and that was the end of that.
* The Bone movie idea that's been floating around since forever. I loved Bone ever since the reprints in Disney Adventures, but never got my hand on the actual issues until recently.
